Impaired endothelium-dependent and -independent vasodilation in young female athletes with exercise-associated amenorrhea.
-Independent Vasodilation in Young Female Athletes With Exercise-Associated Amenorrhea To the Editor: Estrogen has great roles in controlling vascular function.1 Especially, estrogen augments endothelium-dependent vasodilation by increasing the bioavailability of endothelium-derived nitric oxide.2 Not only does estrogen replacement improve endothelium-dependent vasodilation in postmenopausal wo...
متن کاملImpaired coronary endothelium-dependent vasodilation is associated with microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes and angiographically normal coronary arteries.
OBJECTIVE Microalbuminuria and impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation are both predictors for cardiac events in patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether microalbuminuria correlated with coronary endothelium-dependent vasodilation. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We evaluated 84 patients (47 men, mean age 50.5 +/- 5.9 years) with type 2 diabetes for 9.4 +/- ...
متن کاملEndothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation of systemic arteries is impaired in patients with myocardial virus persistence.
BACKGROUND Myocardial virus persistence is frequently observed in patients with cardiomyopathy. Endothelial dysfunction in patients with cardiomyopathy is associated with inflammatory immunoresponses in myocardial biopsies. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of myocardial virus persistence on endothelial function. METHODS AND RESULTS In 124 patients with suspected cardiomyopa...
متن کاملCaptopril improves impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation in hypertensive patients.
Animal studies suggest that some angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors augment endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. We aimed to determine if captopril augments endothelium-dependent vasodilation in middle-aged hypertensive patients. By using strain-gauge plethysmography, forearm vasodilation evoked with intra-arterial acetylcholine (4, 8, 16, and 24 micrograms/min) or nitroprusside (0.2, 0....
متن کاملNot acute but chronic hypertriglyceridemia is associated with impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation: reversal after lipid-lowering therapy by atorvastatin.
There is controversy regarding the relation between hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and endothelial function. This study was designed to investigate endothelial function in a patient group with chronic HTG, before and during lipid-lowering therapy by atorvastatin. In addition, the effects of acute HTG on endothelial function were studied in normolipidemic individuals. Eight male patients with chroni...
